That would be my Dad's sporterized 30-40 Krag and Colt Commando. These were the only two firearms that I knew of that he owned. My mother somehow came up with the money for the Krag as a present for Dad, back when money was real tight, so this one is from Mom and Dad. Dad gave me the Krag when I turned sixteen and I harvested my first three whitetails with that rifle with my hand loads. The Colt Commando was bought by my Aunt Ardis for home protection then realized that she really didn't want it and gave it to my Dad. Dad kept it under a pillow on his couch for many years and I would get it out and clean it twice a year and give him fresh ammo now and again. It had a bulge in the barrel about halfway down and after I inherited it from Dad I found it still shot ok. These two will stay with me until I'm gone and will be passed down to my Grandson.
